Portret van een onbekende man 1864 - 1891

This portrait photograph, *Portret van een onbekende man*, is a small, intimate work by the artist Linge, dating from between 1864 and 1891. The subject, a man with a serious expression, is captured in a simple, studio setting, emphasizing his features and his attire. The portrait’s small dimensions, a mere 98 mm by 58 mm, suggest it may have been intended for personal use as a keepsake. The photograph's faded tones and the focus on the subject's face contribute to the timeless and melancholic quality of the image.
